I researched buying the KIA EV6 earlier this year. Dan O’Brien had a $20k markup on their models. Everywhere else was MSRP or maybe $5k markup. F that place.

Nope. But car shopping a couple years ago was infuriating in Nashua.

I tried, last year (the one that was in Hanover, MA) Made a deal with them, got a loan from my own bank, then they told me they didn’t have the title. I thought they meant it was just physically not there and they had to track it down. They kept me on the hook for a month, telling me it was being fedex’d to them. They finally told me it was ready, come get it. We drove the hour there, were on the street, when they called and said they didn’t actually have it. It ended up that the car was a lease buy-out from Ford, and Ford wouldn’t release the title to them. They had been so committed to keeping me waiting for this car that they never would have been able to sell me, for a solid month. It was truly bizarre.

(Edit to add, i was trying to purchase at a Dan OBrien Infiniti dealership, not a Kia dealership)

I bought a wrangler from their Methuen dealership back in 2020. While the experience wasn’t the best, it wasn’t the worst I have had. Mainly felt they weren’t organized or communicative between departments. Only reason I went there was because of their warranty. Time will tell whether it was worth it.
